"Okay. Answer me this. Why are we… in a tree?"

"You wanna stand down there?"

"Be my guest."

"No…no. I'm good."

Eclipse shuddered as she looked down at the people filled valley. "There are way too many people. Now. Here's the plan. At ten, we are going to get down from our tree, and make our way to another spot further down. See where the trees cover the creek? We are going past there. There's another clearing that only the royal family knows about. Get it? Got it? Good."

Johnny looked at the two Eclipses. "What's so important about this valley anyway? Why is it called Moon Glimmer Valley and Creek? Why is the mini-waterfall called Yellow Tulips? Why-?"

Eclipse clapped a hand over his mouth. "One at a time, cowboy. Remember that story I told you and Squee? The one with the Dragon King?"

"Yeah."

"It really happened. This entire valley, from the branches on the trees, to the rivers in the creek. The thing is… that, the valley glows only three times a month. On a full moon, the day The Dragon God confessed his love to our Queen 118 years ago, and when the Dragon King told his love that he loved her. The waterfall is called Yellow Tulips because a yellow tulip means hopeless love, or hopelessly in love, because the Dragon God and King both were hopelessly in love. That answers all of your questions, right?"

"Yeah."

Eclipse turned back to the creek. Johnny examined her from the corner of his eye. He had just noticed how odd her hands were. They were relatively small, but she had long thin piano fingers, with long nails, painted dark red. Johnny looked at his boots. He then looked at the teenager Eclipse. Her hands were the same; only the nails weren't as long and were black. He looked at his hands. They were thin and had long fingers. These hands", he mumbles. "Killed a lot of people."

"You said something?"

He jumped and looked at Eclipse. "No…n-no."

"You sure?"

"Y-yeah."

"Um… you-"

"AAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! MY BABY FELL IN THE RIVER!"

Eclipse, Johnny, and the teen jumped and looked down. A woman was screaming at the edge of the creek. "MY BABY! HE CAN'T SWIM! HE'S ONLY EIGHT!"

Eclipse stood on the branch, pulled off her jacket and jumped into the river. The teen and Johnny shouted, "What the hell!"

They leaped off the branch and fought their way to the river edge. There was no bank. The teen stared at the still water. "Will she be okay?"

Johnny looked at her. "Yeah, she'll be fine… I hope."

Below the river, Eclipse stared around the bottom of the river. A boy, small, brown mousey hair. She couldn't see him. She scowled and swam forward, scanning the creek. She swam around a giant rock and stopped. A huge river dragon was fast asleep. A grey one. Eclipse frowned, trying to remember her old stories. "A palace was built beneath the creek, waiting for its king. The palace was guarded by two dragons. A red one called Tisztaság the lustful, and a grey one called Faj, the cruel. They were the god's least favorite sons." Eclipse tensed. If this was Mr. Meanie, where was Mclovin man? She shook her head. The kid. Gotta find the kid. She looked at the dragon and stared. Found him. The kid was underneath the grey dragons claw. She slapped her forehead and swam over carefully. She suddenly realized, her magic didn't work that well and she needed to breath. She swam up to the surface.

Johnny scanned the smooth surface of the creek. Not even a bubble. Suddenly, Eclipse broke the surface. She gasped and sputtered. Then dove back under. "What?"

The teen gasped. "Oh my gosh! I just realized something?"

"What?"

"She can hold her breath a long time."

"Ugh."

Eclipse dove directly down and steeped on the river bed. She stepped forward carefully, and then another one, and another, until she reached the claw. The little boy was turning blue from holding his breath. Eclipse reached out and pulled the boy away. She held him close and bit her lip. The dragon stirred and stopped. She closed her eyes briefly and started up to the surface. She was almost there when something grabbed her leg. She turned and screamed out a stream of bubbles. A huge red dragon was holding her ankle, a cruel smile on his greasy lips. It was Tisztaság, the lustful dragon.
